It happened to me; it can happen to you. Pulling out of a gas station in Tasmania, Australia, onto the A2 road skirting the island’s north coast with no other traffic in sight, I accelerate briskly, shifting the 900 Diversion into fifth gear. We settle into a comfortable cruising speed and I’m thinking about the […]

Motorcyclists tend to be fairly committed gear heads who can appreciate a good work of mechanical art—whether it travels on two wheels or four. It seems the same is true for fans of America’s sports car, the Corvette. Until January 3, 2014 the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, KY is hosting a motorcycle exhibit […]

Even bikes that look old can use a few updates once in a while! Such is the case with Triumph’s ever-popular Classic line-up.

This past weekend the Detroit Triumph Sports Car Club held the 31st annual “Battle of the Brits–Car and Motorcycle Show.” British (and not so British) made motorbikes of all shapes, sizes, and makes were on display.

Triumph is continuing its impressive run by introducing another model aimed to compete with BMW. The Trophy has been developed at the same time as the Tiger Explorer 1200, but features completely different body work. The Explorer now competes head-on with BMW’s R1200GS, while the Trophy will surely take a bite out of BMW’s luxury […]

The initiation to this oddball confederation of masochistic machine-heads has been an event I’ve coveted for a long time. Still, I had to question my sanity as the Bonneville […]
